Dear alumni,

We have put on our Web site 73 photos on the recent visit by the PKU Delegation

(including President Zhihong Xu) to LA. For those of you who didn't get a chance

to participate in some or all the events then, you can get some feelings about

the visit by taking a quick a look at the photos (and being patient while they

being downloaded).

If you were a participant and want to obtain a hard copy of your precious

moment, please contact our VP, Dr. Sikun Lan at sikun@yahoo.com.

Below is a piece of news about PKU's recent structural changes and a local event

announcement.

Regards,
